outdoor wedding

my plan is to have an outdoor wedding. whether or not monterey's normally overcast skies will cooperate with me is one thing to consider, as is cost if i want an ocean view. but august is usually pretty sunny in monterey, so hopefully God will let it be sunny on our wedding day. =)

some options we have are

intercontinental the clement monterey
pro: really close to home and the famous monterey aquarium, brand new venue, might be able to get a deal!
con: pacific grove tends to be more overcast than other areas of the bay, can't find pictures of the ballroom!


tehama golf club
pro: pretty pretty pretty everything
con: pretty far from home

pebble beach
pro: ocean view, close to home, pretty much my dream wedding
con: price i hear is reasonable, but still hesitant


berwick park
pro: ocean view, close to home
con: max 100 people, if you're not facing the ocean you face houses, separate reception venue needed


bernardus lodge
pro: pretty indoor and outdoor areas
con: kind of far

club del monte
pro: good rates, pretty venue
con: need clearance of all guests b/c it's a naval academy


carmel valley ranch
pro: pretty venue indoor and out
con: far from home


pasadera country club
pro: pretty outdoor area
con: not in love with banquet hall and a little far
quail lodge
pro: beautiful indoor and outdoor
con: $$$ and far
